I don't think TENka has any control over D. I think D is a daemon (a very powerful Agent, a term for an "intelligent" bot). In this case, a hacker's toolkit, all the tricks and utilities that Kleya could make autonomous or semi-autonomous rolled into a single program. Hacking on the fly takes considerable focus of attention, even running DNI, it would be beneficial to have another set of eyes watching for back traces and intrusion counter-measuers. Thus, D's over powered defense/security capabilities. The "insert" example, along with several other with similar style where Kleya is presented with a list of options and/or information (as seen in The Game at several points and when Kleya is wandering about the fragmented university space, offering not just hacking opportunities but information usually hidden from normal users), seems to support this.

My furthest speculation is that D is the Virus TENka is so worried about. While serving a valued function as a security program for The Game and possibly L.i.F.e. as well, D is not subject to TENka's control and views any attempt other than Kleya's to alter itself or the network as hostile hacking (thus its response to some one else trying to hack one of Kleya's specials, her code). If not even network adminstrators (TENka) could alter basic system code/architecture, they would view it as a virus, but, given that it can crash the entire network should they attempt to alter it, they would be powerless to do anything about it.

Sorry if this seems long winded, it grew on me. If it belongs in another location, feel free to move it (so long as it isn't the garbage).
